What to put on banner for stam arcanist?

shezof

So fatecarver is magic damage, but using stam due to higher source. On solo play is it better to put magicka dmg on banner because of this? also what would be the most optimal banner for solo stamina arcanist in pve?

So, the META on this is still up in the air. But my understanding is:
- Magic is better than fire for the group, but fire is better solo. This may change with the fix to azureblight so that fire is META but that change is ALSO up in the air. Since you're soloing, go fire.
- Class mastery
- Savagery and prophecy if you're dropping camo hunter/not potion chugging/using heroism potions, minor heroism if you have camo hunter or are using savagery/prophecy potions.

Keep in mind that banner also makes it harder to sustain, so you may need to use potions often or drop banner.

That character is a stam arcanist, and those are the optimal skills on its banner.

So...

Banner - as in the scribing skill "Banner Bearer".

Now I get it. I thought banner meant the skill bar.

On Topic:

I'm by no means up to date about Meta, so take it with a grain of salt.
It depends on your load out. If you've got a lot of AoE on, then you could use the Multi Target Focus.
Go for Class Signature to generate more Crux and beam more often.
Affix whatever floats your boat I guess.

Easy.
-Fire (damage over time 6%)
-class mastery (Crux every 5s)
- savagery and prophecy.


This way. you can use either tri pots or heroism pots.

Edit: nice avatar photo OP 😎

It depends on your group.
For parsing you would go fire.
In content it depends on your group. If its filled with arca dds then multitarget is usually your best bet. Espeically if you run deadly strike.
If there are other classes in group then magic damage would be most optimal.

For second you always want to go class script.

For third it depends also. Common are savagery and prophecy so you can replace camo hunter. That way you can run tripots.
You can also do heroism and run savagery pots instead. Note that healers can also give minor heroism with torches now also.

The guide I used some months ago recommended shock. Is fire better?

Isn't Fatecarver direct damage? I'd rather buff that than my DoTs.

Fatecarver is not direct damage, it’s AoE and DoT.
